Plants absorb CO2 for the creation of glucose in photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H20 = C6H12O6 + 6 O2

So if you put in six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules you get one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules in return. Glucose is used by plants to respirate, like animals.

Plants don't just absorb CO2, though, they also use it. Like other living creatures, when they respirate they turn Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide.

Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?

No, plants do not convert carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). Plants are able to absorb and store carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, but they do not have the ability to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is typically produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
